| Around 130 young people visited Switzerland to take part in camps ahead of the 100th anniversary of the Organisation of the Swiss Abroad. Some of them have never lived in the country, and neither has their Swiss parent, or parents. Joining a Swiss abroad summer camp is a way in to the psyche of Switzerland.

Some were given cameras to explore the issues of nature, tourism, sport and politics. In this video, they explore the meaning of active tourism in Switzerland.
